Governing Law.
The laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada shall govern these Terms.  SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION PROVISION HEREIN, YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN THE COURTS LOCATED IN TORONTO, CANADA FOR ALL MATTERS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF THE SERVICES. Nothing herein shall prevent Laerdal from proceeding directly to a court of law and without resorting to arbitration to protect its intellectual property or seek injunctive relief.

Arbitration.
You hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in connection with any dispute relating to, concerning, or arising out of these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this paragraph. In the event you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Laerdal will pay as much of your filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. The arbitration before the AAA shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make written awards is limited to claims between you and us alone. Claims may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in a writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. If you initiate a litigation or any other proceeding against Laerdal in violation of this paragraph, you agree to pay Laerdal’s reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with its enforcement of this paragraph.
